Dahlin because I think he's going to be the best one of the bunch.

Dahlin
Makar

[SotasicA]

Dahlin is by far the biggest talent in that group.

 

[MrThomas]

Dahlin is by far the biggest talent in that group.

How? Heiskanen has been better so far

 

[The S5]

How is Dahlin leading? He hasn't shown that he will be the best of the bunch. Miro has been the best to date and can't imagine he won't get better. Makar can pass them all.

 

[obZen]

One of these is not like the other.

 

[KlefDown]

Dahlin
Makar/Miro
Chabot
Hughes
Fox

all of them are great though with top 1 potential, bar Fox

How? Heiskanen has been better so far

How would you compare their 18 year old seasons?

 

[Deebs]

If I have to pick a guy who I think gives me the best chance to win a cup right now, it's Heiskanen.

He's the best defensively by a wide margin and is very good offensively.

 

[Slurpeelover27]

Makar
Dahlin
Heiskanen
Fox
Chabot
Hughes

Incredible list of young dmen. Exciting times for NHL fans.

Fox definitely has #1 potential. Hughes doesn't due to defensive weaknesses.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Heiskanen. Does it all.

 

[Kcb12345]

Can't go wrong with any of Heiskanen, Makar, or Dahlin. Chabot is great too. I haven't seen enough of Hughes just yet to judge him. He's been quiet in the Canucks games I've seen

 

[M88K]

Heiskanen/Makar
Chabot/Dahlin
Hughes
Fox

How? Heiskanen has been better so far

Dahlin is younger and did litteraly everything better last season, offensively, defensively, moving the puck. This season, they have been comparable. Dahlin has scored a lot more in less minutes since they got into the League.

 

[Taluss]

Dahlin, Makar, Heiskanen, Hughes, Fox

 

[AB13]

1. Dahlin
2. Makar
3. Chabot
4. Hughes
5. Heiskanen/Fox

a lot more? Dahlin has 6 points and Heiskanen 13 points 5vs5

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Idk how Fox is in this but these are a fun group of Dmen to choose from. I went with the hype right now with Makar.

 

[AB13]

a lot more? Dahlin has 6 points and Heiskanen 13 points 5vs5

Both have 13 points this season, Dahlin is a great PP QB unlike line Heiskanen, just using 5v5 is irrelevant. Dahlin outproduces him massively per minute. Dahlin has 57 NHL points in 102 games and Heiskanen 47 in 103 games since they got into the league, which was what I was talking about. That is a large difference, especially considering the gap in age. Since they came into the NHL, Dahlin has also had better defensive stats, don’t base it of a 20 game sample size where Dahlin still has better scoring per minute.

 

[HugginThePost]

Dahlin.........because he's better?

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Dahlin is a generational #1 pick. The dude is a beast who sits on the bench entire periods. Obvious pick is him. Generational no one else is close.
